I am fat at the moment..., I am 5 feet 10 and my BMI is 25
In Asia, Body BMI - over 23 is fat, under 18 is skinny
"The range for acceptable, normal, or optimum body-mass index (BMI) for Asian populations should be narrowed to 18.5-23 kg/m2, according to a WHO expert consultation on appropriate BMI for these populations that took place on July 8-11 in Singapore" from below link:

average Asian women consume 1800 calories per day.., but most of the skinny ones only take about 1500 calories. Average height of Asian girls is 5 feet 3 or 4 inches.
We consume more vegetables when compare with westerners, we drink tea and we don't eat as much red meat as the Americans. I know some Asian girls that they do not eat much rice or noodles, they stick to eat fish, lean chicken and a lot of vegetables.
FAT & SKINNY are ALL the same ALL over the world!!!
hmmm
